First, a warning to all of the Ohana in colder climates. Extreme cold makes those resin tikis brittle brittle brittle!

I figured they were perfect for our New England winters. I could keep 'em outside year round and not have to worry. Oops!

Well, we had a real cold spell last week (went below 0 degrees Fahrenheit) and there were wind gusts up to 40 mph to boot!!

The wind knocked this guy over (he was only dug in about 3 or 4 inches) and he snapped like a twig.

I brought him inside to see if maybe he could be reapired....

and while trying to balance the top back on, I noticed something PINK wedged deep inside his base...

I gotta admit, I was IMMEDIATELY freaked out. I jumped back, almost dropping the top half, and then slowly re-approached the base, peering inside from as far away as I could. I thought maybe it was some sort of animal, or nest full of baby animals or something along those lines.....as the shape took focus, my thoughts turned even darker...

"what is that??!?!"

"Oh my god, its like that movie House Of Wax"

"I think there's part of a PERSON in there!!!!"

I guess I watch too many horror movies, but when the zombie horde attacks (the ones who don't come in cocktail glasses) I'll be ready for em!!!!

Here's what it was...

It STILL pretty freaky to me!

Pink resin boots?!?!?!

I guess it was from some other resin statue, but why the hell is it in my tiki!??!?!!?

Or maybe its the pink nubbed boots of some elf who got too close to the resin machine?

I'm open to other ideas if anyone has 'em ........conspiracy theories welcome.
